Esoteric Tattoo

"Went to Esoteric Tattoo a total of nine times this year, accumulating a total of thirteen tattoos. I would have an appointment scheduled now if I was in the area. I've been to four different artists at four different shops, Esoteric included, hands down this was the best place for multiple reasons. Cleanliness, vibe, talent, ect. If you want amazing art from awesome people, this is the place you've been looking for. Everyone here is incredibly talented, with years of experience. I'm partial to Charlie, but you really can't go wrong with whoever you choose."

"Fast work, amazing art, even better vibes. photo of tattoo attached. incredible experience. came by at the recommendation of my regular tattoo guy while he's out of the country. came in as a walk in and Coleman totally took care of me. Worked with me on not-so-simple piece in his own awesome and unique style, to memorialize the passing of my best friend. he gave vital insight and steered me in the right direction when I had some bad ideas. ultimately I'm extremely satisfied and will be making the trek back to esoteric tattoos from Seattle to get more work from Coleman, but at this point, based on my conversation with Coleman I think anyone in the shop would have done me right."

"Excellent design and tattoo work. Beautiful coloring, including a custom blue. Got a $100 discount for him forgetting about the appointment, wasn't a big deal, but the discount was sweet. About $100 for each of these sweet tats."

"If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Nikki did a fantastic job with my tattoo. I sent in my idea and got such a beautiful end result. The environment is comfortable and everyone is friendly. This place made a painful process fun and inviting."

"Best shop in Portland. Masters of their craft. Courteous, friendly, professional. Updating with more info. I’ve now had close to 75 hours under the gun with Dom, the owner. He has made my wackiest ideas become reality. I feel like a walking art museum. He and his staff are so great to work with, I cannot recommend them enough. Dom will go down as one of the greats in the craft, and I’m sure many of his staff will too. So much talent under one roof - it’s insane. Here are the pieces I’ve had done over the years. I’m in the middle of my next sleeve and am starting a chest piece with Dom after that."
